"It was you."

Chapter 75 Lifting the Mist

Roland Hill fell from the sky, and the oncoming night wind flowed past her ears. The gentle wind pressure brought a sense of comfort. No matter how many times, she never got tired of this feeling of walking through the wind.

Slowly landed on the balcony, the pure white dress floated up with the airflow, and then slowly fell again, the emerald pupils flowed like gems at night, and then gradually dissipated the light and returned to normal.There was no sound during the period, and under the keen perception, he easily avoided the sight of the guards in the courtyard.

Gently walked into the bedroom, the door was still locked, her fingers swiped in the air, a breeze swept through, and the candle went out.Then he opened the window, the night wind swirled in the bedroom, and the air that had been intoxicated before was cleared up. Finally, he closed the curtains, lay on the bed, and fell asleep peacefully.

The night was extra peaceful and sweet.

When Roland Hill walked out of the bedroom early the next morning, the four maids outside the door still greeted her as usual.

They first brought hot water and let Roland Hill wash her face, and then one of them helped the girl comb her hair and tied the two strands of hair beside her ears into a long slender braid, and then the two slender braids met at the back of the head and tied. The last light red bow, which was slightly girlish, finally fell from the middle, reaching the back of the spine, higher than the other waist-length hair.

Roland Hill shook his head at the mirror, his long golden hair rubbed against the red dress and fell like silk.

"Pell, you took care of my hair so well."

"The eldest miss has won the prize. In fact, your hair is perfect. I just tidied it up a little."

"Well, but something is better than nothing, right?"

"Yes." The maid finally adjusted Roland Hill's hair before putting down the comb.

"How long has Pell been to Carrites?" the girl asked after looking at the mirror.

"It's been 5 years, because my father followed Lord Angus to the north and south, so I was able to successfully enter the headquarters to work."

"Is the maid's work hard?"

"Unfortunately, the headquarter has plenty of manpower and is not in short supply. We often have time to rest."

"Is that so..."

Then Lorraine Hill walked into the restaurant, where Chelsea was already waiting.

"Morning miss."

"Chelsea early."

According to the usual arrangement, these maids will leave temporarily. During the breakfast, Chelsea will report something, but today Loren Hill asked Pell to stay.

When Lorraine Hill and Chelsea were talking, she stood by, calm at first, then more and more uneasy, her long legs wrapped in white stockings began to tremble slightly.

Lorraine Hill continued to ask Chelsea about the investigation into yesterday's assassination, and then slowly discussed the motives of the Hellis family's escort for the assassination.

"Pell, why do you think those whose family members and relatives are working in the Chamber of Commerce betrayed? Could it be that the Chamber of Commerce treats him badly?"

"I...I don't know..." Pell's body trembled, his face was pale, and his voice trembled slightly.

"That's it."

Roland Hill took a sip of hot tea and slowly thought about what to do with the maid who poisoned the candles in the dinner and the room.

"There are some remote islands in the Southern Berry Kingdom, and the branch there has always been understaffed. Are you willing to work there for 20 years?"

"I do, I do."

She knelt on the ground trembling, grabbed the ground with her head, and choked up.

"Okay, pack up today and say hello to your parents and family. Their lives will be as usual and won't be affected by you."

"Thank you, Miss, I... I'm sorry for you."

She knelt on the ground, her eyes were flushed, her tears couldn't stop, and her forehead was covered with dust and bruises.

"Then, that's it." After speaking, Roland Hill got up and left the restaurant where the crying sounded.

Chelsea called several other maids from outside the door to follow Pell before leaving with Lorraine Hill.

The two walked through the corridor in the courtyard, but the head maid still did not ask, which made the girl curious.

"Sister Chelsea, aren't you curious about what happened just now?"

"Why do you need to explain to me what the eldest miss wants to do?" Chelsea's words were smooth.

It's not good, the head maid's sister is actually angry, Roland Hill turned her head and looked at the head maid who was wearing glasses and smart clothes.

"sorry."

"Why do you want to apologize to me, Miss, you are the master."

"I'm sorry~" Lorraine Hill wanted to get through.

"Hey... Miss, you are always like this, and that rainy night before, can't you take care of yourself?"

"What if Pell still has a backer, what if there are other accomplices, and when something happens to you, what will a big chamber of commerce do?"

Chelsea expressed their worries and dissatisfaction.

But I know she has no backers, and there are no other accomplices among the maids, Roland Hill thought to herself, but she couldn't explain how she knew, so she nodded and said yes.

Afterwards, the two talked all the way, and finally came to the study room of the Chamber of Commerce, which is where Lorraine Hill usually works.

After finishing some affairs, Lorraine Hill asked Chelsea to invite Ceres to come over. During the spare time, she began to slowly recall the life of the old housekeeper.

When he was young, he was a small noble of the West Wind. Later, he joined the army and became an officer in the West Wind's war against the barbarians. After the war, he worked as a mercenary for a period of time. Later, he met Angus. The two became confidants and assisted Angus. The management of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce is the core figure of Karites. He is sophisticated, careful, and rarely makes mistakes, and has been recognized by most of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Miss, I'm here." Ceres walked into the room, interrupting Roland Hill's memories.

"Well, Uncle Ceres. Last time I asked you to investigate Mrs. Mela's past. Did you make any progress?"

"There have been some results. Mrs. Mela's family, whose ancestors were once aristocrats from the West Wind, had their fiefs in the Verga area, but by the time of her father's generation, it had long since declined. When he was a child, his father did some small business and didn't make much money. money, so life is relatively poor.”

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"Mr. Angus met Mrs. Mela at a banquet, because at that time, Lord Angus had just brought Karites into the top core of Verga, and he also won one of the 26 seats in the guild, With high spirits, he often participates in banquets invited by various families, and integrates into this circle.”

"After a certain banquet, he was very drunk and fell into the garden outside the banquet hall. At that time, Mrs. Mera happened to pass by and was about to help him, but was entangled by the drunk Mr. Angus, and it was like this for a whole night. Affectionately, Mrs. Meera got pregnant unexpectedly."

"At first, Angus did not agree with this matter, thinking it was a conspiracy of other chambers of commerce. Later, he gradually became familiar with Mrs. Mera's character and slowly accepted it. However, because he loved the deceased Mrs. Yuan, he never publicly acknowledged the relationship. , just sent someone to take care of Mrs. Mera and helped her father achieve several profitable businesses."

"What happened after that?"

"Later, after Mrs. Mera's father tasted the sweetness, he asked Lord Angus to help many times, and then he became addicted to gambling and asked for more and more things. In the end, Mr. Angus taught him a lesson. After a few meals, he slowly calmed down, and now he is no longer in business, and guards several manors in the countryside, relying on this to live a comfortable and nourishing life."

"It turns out that Uncle Ceres investigated in detail."

Loren Hill stood up, walked slowly to the windowsill, and turned around.

"Unfortunately, you didn't tell the truth."

At this time, six sword-wielding guards rushed into the study, and with the friction of the armor, they surrounded the old housekeeper of the Chamber of Commerce with their swords facing each other, while two of them stood in front of Roland Hill to prevent Violent injury.

So sorry for the late update, it's just that a lot happened today.

I didn't sleep all night last night just waiting for the review reply the next morning. I received a reply from the site at 09:30, but it still didn't pass, and my heart suddenly became cold.

I got up and had something to eat, lay down and slept for a while, woke up in a daze at 12 noon, then turned on my phone and saw another message at 11:[-], indicating that I was spotted by an editor from another editing group, and notified me, If you switch teams, you can sign a contract.

For a time, the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, just like in the novel, and my heart is excited again.

With anxiety in my heart, I hurriedly contacted the editor who left the message. Finally, after half an hour, I got a positive answer, and the stone in my heart slowly fell to the ground.

In the afternoon, I started to fill in the information according to the background process, apply, and the application was approved. I walked to the store one kilometer away to print the contract, and then the SF APP placed the order and mailed it. When I returned to the place where I lived, it was already [-]:[-].

Sitting in front of the computer is still a little unbelievable. It feels like a dream. I always feel that unless I get paid someday, I will have a real sense of signing a contract. 233

After reading novels for many years, this year is also the first time I tried writing. In the first half of the year, I took advantage of my spare time to write a little bit on and off, but that book was still very immature.

The salary at work is average, and the company is small and does not have much future. After the epidemic, I originally wanted to change jobs, but the idea of ​​writing a novel suddenly appeared again. There will be regrets, and then I started preparing at the place where I live, so I have this book.

During this period, some friends persuaded me that it was too risky, but I still wanted to chase my dream. After all, after reading novels for so many years, there are always some emotions I want to express.

A person started a single machine at the starting point, and gradually got some readers. Watching the collection gradually rise, I was still very happy.It's like a chef cooking a table of good dishes, and watching everyone eat it makes me very satisfied.

I haven't signed a contract before, I wanted to give up and reopen a book, but it was already broken at that time.But after the early morning, there are still readers who voted for me, still the familiar name. I was moved and silently changed the break to 3-4 days in the background, and then wrote a chapter every day, and then slowly returned to double More, and finally insisted to have today's results.

I can't say it's great, but I've experienced it myself. (I felt too embarrassed to write it before, and now I have deleted it)

Thank you very much for your continued support.

And now, I am one step closer to my dream.

Chapter 76 The Breeze Blows

Ceres stood in the middle of several guards. Even though he was pointed at by the sword, his expression did not change much, as if he was used to seeing life and death. His black eyes under his gray and white temples still looked directly at Roland Hill.

"Cerez, do you have anything to say?" The head maid, Chelsea, came in again from the door, looked at the colleague who had worked together for nearly 10 years, and asked.

"I have nothing to say, and the explanation is just a cover up. Besides, I do have something wrong with Lord Angus."

"Your contribution to the Karites Chamber of Commerce is no less than mine. Over the years, you can be said to have done your best to help the Chamber of Commerce get through many difficult times. If there is anything difficult to say, after explaining it to Miss Lacey, you may not be able to forgive and forgive you. fault."

Chelsea stood on the side and persuaded that although Serres was wrong, his achievements cannot be denied. As long as it is not a principled fault, it may not be unforgivable.

Ceres remained silent, still unmoved.

Roland Hill looked at Serres, who was as cold as iron and stone, and sighed silently in his heart. Madam owes much to Angus in this matter, and other aspects are really impeccable.

She raised her sleeves, let the guards back, and then asked Chelsea to bring tea.

There are only three people left in the peaceful room. In the courtyard outside the window, people can be seen walking by. Some of them are chambers of commerce calculators, some are maids who do chores, and occasionally there are one or two children running. In the season of autumn, everyone's mood Much happier than ever.

The sunlight slanted into the house, and it was not strong. Roland Hill sat upright under the light and shadow, and the light red dress was shining brightly.

"Can Uncle Serres tell me the specific origin of that child?"

"Whether he is Angus' blood or not, I will keep my promise and protect him until he reaches adulthood, and I will not harm him in the future."

Serres looked at Roland Hill's clear and transparent pupils, and was silent for a while before slowly opening his mouth.

"That child is indeed not born by Lord Angus."

"Not even Mrs. Mera's child."

"He was born to one of my comrades-in-arms and a young lady from the Helis family. Because of the huge gap in their identities, the two could not be together. In depression, he suffered a traumatic injury in his early years and died young."

"At that time, the Helis family was fighting fiercely with our Karites over the spice trade. I was also entrusted by Angus to investigate Mrs. Mera. If Angus dies in an accident and the identity of this child is revealed, he will gain the right of inheritance, thereby splitting the Chamber of Commerce.”
